Kerala police crack serial murder case

06/10/2019

The investigators cracked the mystery by tracking Mathew and Prajikumar, who allegedly supplied the cyanide to the woman for executing the murders.

The duo was working at the time with a local jewellery firm and had access to the poisonous chemical. .

Annamma Thomas was the first victim in 2002 and reportedly died soon after having some home-made food. Six years later, her husband Tom Thomas died the same way, followed by their son Roy in 2011.

The other three deaths took place in 2014 and 2016. Annamma’s brother Mathew Manchadiyil, and his two relatives — Sily and her daughter were the victims.

They too are believed to have died after having food mixed with a small quantity of cyanide.

After the mysterious deaths, the woman who allegedly masterminded the killing married another member of the family.

The conspiracy was exposed after Rojo Thomas, son of Tom Thomas, filed a confidential petition with the Crime Branch seeking a probe into the suspicious deaths in his family. He also submitted proof of some secret land deals, in which the suspects tried to take control of the properties of the dead persons.

In a preliminary investigation, the Crime Branch squad confirmed that Shaju was present when all the six deaths occurred.

The actual motive was revealed when the squad checked the property transactions and financial deals done by her in partnership with her new husband. The details of telephone calls made by the two during the time of the deaths too helped the police in uncovering the mystery.
